incl.cut

[Judith Glaesser]

Hello,

I have received the following error message:

It seems that all output values have been coded to zero. Suggestion: lower the inclusion score for the presence of the outcome, the relevant argument is "incl.cut" which now has a value of 0.8.

But some of the truth table rows do have values above 0.8. It looks to me as though inf.test was run and these rows were excluded on that basis. But I didn't ask for the test to be run. I have attached the data, and here's the code I used:

truthTable(data, outcome = "O", conditions = c("A", "B", "C", "D"), incl.cut = 0.8, n.cut = 1, complete = TRUE, sort.by = "incl", "n")

I am using R version 4.5.2 (2025-10-31 ucrt), QCA_3.23

What do I need to do so that the output gets coded correctly?

Thanks and best wishes,

Judith

Hi Judith,

For some reason, I don't get your error:

> truthTable(
  data,

  outcome = "O",
  conditions = c("A", "B", "C", "D"),
  incl.cut = 0.8,
  n.cut = 1,

  sort.by = c("incl", "n")
)

  OUT: output value
    n: number of cases in configuration
 incl: sufficiency inclusion score

Could it perhaps be that your command misses the c() in the sort.by argument?

Or perhaps you are running both QCA and QCApro at the same time?

With my very best,

Adrian
